Symposium: Juana in a Million: Making Latin Americans Visible in London
Southwark Playhouse
Friday 7th June 2013
10-30 to 16-30
Juana in a Million is one-woman performance exploring true stories of
Latin American migrants to the UK. Mexican author-performer Vicky Araico
Casas (together with the Director and co-author, Nir Paldi) funded by
the Arts Council and National Lottery. Vicky wrote the play after being
inspired by her own experiences and by Cathy McIlwaine’s research on the
Latin American Community in London.
The Symposium aims to facilitate a larger and more diverse audience for
the play far beyond the Latin American community itself and to explore
the lessons learnt and the ways in which the arts and performance can
interrelate with academic social science research. It will entail a
performance of the play,and a panel discussion of reactions to the play
(led by Mette Berg, Davide Pero, Sarah Bradshaw, and Kavita Datta). This
will be followed by a range of informal presentations by researchers and
campaigners who have worked with Latin Americans in London. These
include Carolina Gottardo, Rosina Marquez Reiter, Patria
Román-Velasquez, Katie Wright, Jasmine Gideon, Juan Camilo Cock and
Maria das Graças Brightwell.
The performance of the play, lunch and refreshments will be provided as
part of the ticket price of £7.
